Have credentials, ie, where you graduated from, become more important than actually getting educated?
Considering almost everyone appointed by the current Administration has a fancy degree in something or other from some impressive Ivy League college or other, and have no actual experience in anything useful, like having ANY kind of a job outside of government, I think it is a distinct possibility, and a big problem.
============================================
Uncredentialed Wonder
“I wonder if that’s really good for America, though. To become educated is a marvelous thing; to have the opportunity to study is a privilege too many take for granted. But have we become a society that places too much weight on the attainment of a diploma, which sometimes indicates nothing more than an ability to keep to a schedule and follow a syllabus, and underappreciates the ability to wonder, to strike out on an individual path, and to learn on one’s own? When did non-conformists become so unromantic and undervalued?”
